I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Economics at Emory University. I was born and raised in Mexico City, where everyone knows me as Quino (though, of course, there’s only one Quino). I hold a B.A. in Economics from Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) and an M.Sc. in Economics from Uppsala University.

Previously, I worked as a Research Assistant at ITAM’s Center for Economic Research (CIE) and as a Pre-Doctoral Research Fellow at Georgetown University through the UPPER Global Research Training Initiative.

My primary research interest lies in the political economy of development. I am also interested in applied econometrics, particularly as a tool for developing and applying rigorous methods to better understand and try to answer questions in this field.
